Arms of Jasper (Tudor), 1st Duke of Bedford, 1st Earl of Pembroke

France and England quarterly, a bordure azure, charged with martlets or. (From his seal.)

Borne by Jasper, Earl of Pembroke (later Duke of Bedford). Apparently granted to him by his half-brother, King Henry VI. "Although uncle of Henry VII, Jasper Tudor had no blood descent whatever which would entitle him to bear these arms. His use of them is very remarkable."
